Ingredients

The following ingredients have 12 Servings
  • 1 cup butter (softened)
  • 1 and ½ cup granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 and ½ teaspoon vanilla
  • 2 and ¾ cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt

Instruction

  • Preheat oven to 375°F. Line a sheet pan with a Silpat mat (silicone baking mat)
  • First, in a large bowl using an electric mixer, beat the butter and sugar until it's light and fluffy.
  • Add a room temperature egg and vanilla to the mixture and beat until smooth.
  • In another bowl, combine flour, baking powder, and salt. Whisk it to combine. With the mixer on low, add your flour mixture to the butter mixture a little at a time. After it's blended together, roll the dough to 1/8 inch thickness. It may be easier to work with to separate the dough into two parts.
  • Dip cookie cutter in flour before cutting. Cut out the cookies and place them on a cookie sheet or sheet pan.
  • Bake the cookies at 375°F for 6 to 7 minutes or until cookies are lightly browned. Cool them for two minutes on cookie sheet before removing to wire rack to cool completely.
